The Bafana Bafana star was not included in the squad for the match but went into the dressing room to talk some sense to his teammates.

"With our talent in this side, build a way out. We can't play games like this, man," he
"The only people who should be embarrassed are ourselves here in the changing room—no one outside.
"They [fans] gave up a long time ago, should we too? Ask the U21s to play. We can go on holiday if that is the case. Where are our heads at."

Reactions as Foster slammed his Burnley teammates

C4Kirby said:

"Needed more of that passion from more of the players."

"Lyle is a legend for showing he cares, admire Cork also for sticking up for the lads. Perhaps if the rest of the team had showed anywhere near as much passion as them 2 we wouldn’t have been relegated! Only watched the 1st episode, but Lyle has gone up 100% in my estimations Utc."

"He’s bang on, how many times did we see heads drop as soon as we were 1 down, missing a shot, losing the ball n jogging back. As good a leader Cork might be, they were not giving 100% around the time of this clip…"

CLARET2010 shared:

"I agree totally with Lyle & all he said, Cork should've shown a bit more of that in the dressing room throughout the season instead of just what seems to be at that moment. You could see the lads knew he was right & true in what he was saying, fair play Lyle!"

turf999 commented:

"I agree with every word he said! Think Cork should give his head a wobble. If more players showed Lyles passion it wouldn’t have been the horrific season it was!"

JF2025 implied:

"Can’t fault either of Foster or Cork here, Foster dropping hard truths, Cork getting frustrated, as a leader. Just feel we missed this fight across the board. We move this season!"
